ton of Mr.. Carlisle as Speaker, despite the TACT
that his scat is contested lie received 163
votes. exactly a quorum of the House, few
members being absent. His speech subjected
him to sharp criticisms, particularly in view OF
the circumstances under which he was elevated
to the chair in the Senate Mr.. Turplc was
allowed to take the oath Of office but the West
Virginia case was passed over, both parties
agreeing that preference should not be shown
for either Mr.. Faulkner or Mr.. Lucas. The

was unusually profusc. To-day the Presidents

England has lost IN Lord Lyons n real peace
maker and most accomplished statesman.
His diplomatic apprenticeship was served at
Athens. Rome and lOrcncc, and was tedious
and uncvcntful. It was not until the American
Civil War broke out that his great qualities
were conspcuouSly displayed. During that cx-
citing period he was hOd up for cXcc,alIon by
too ardent patriotism at the North, and per
si>tcnty ridcuicd in prose and verse rs the
mcdGlcsOmc old woman Of British diplomacy.
His iighlful position in the history Of those
critical wears was long ago revealed by Scorc-
tary Seward and English statesmen, He was
not an enemy Of the onion. On the contrary,
he formed at Washington correct judgment
Of the probable issue Of the civil conflict and
gave wise counsel to Lord john Russell which
undoubtedly prevented English recognition Of
the South and participation in the French En-.
pcrOrs Mexican conquest. In the Trent affair

ton offered by Cabinet colleagues and the press

element there, and after declining the Vice

The remainder Of his career. The Second En-
pne WAS at the height Of its tinScl glory when
he was appointed Ambassador. Before three
years came the war with Germany the calas-
trophc at Sedan, the siege Of Paris, the Com
nunc and the Republic. During that mo-
ncutons crisis fmught with startling surprises,
Lord Lyons maintained the honor and dignity
Of English diplomacy and excrtcd bcnignant
influence upon the diplomatic history Of Europe.
As the years went on and ROyaist cOnsplaccS
against the Republic were followed by the
triumph Of democratic Institutions. the weight
Of his hand was constantly felt in the scale.

judgment and his refinement Of tact and

Of peace. Lord Lyons's Diplomatic career cX-
tended over nearly fifty years. Every passage
